The meeting was attended by M. Abdullaev, First Deputy Chairman of the Chamber of Accounts of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and members of the Azerbaijani delegation headed by T. Yusif-zade, Head of the Delegation of the Chamber of Accounts of Azerbaijan.

It was noted that the Chambers of Accounts of the two countries are currently also actively cooperating within the framework of INTOSAI, ASOSAI, ECOSAI, the Council of Supreme Audit Institutions of the CIS Member States, and the Council of Supreme Audit Institutions of Turkic-Speaking States — TURKSAI.

In March this year, during the visit to Uzbekistan of a delegation from the Chamber of Accounts of Azerbaijan headed by its Chairman V. Gulmammadov, the two institutions signed a Memorandum of Cooperation.

The Memorandum provides for the exchange of experience in external public audit methodologies, development of professional training and skills of staff, exchange of professional information and documents, mutual consultations, joint research, parallel audits, seminars, conferences, and webinars.

Following the signing of the Memorandum, cooperation between the two institutions became even more active. In particular, four delegations from the Chamber of Accounts of Azerbaijan visited Uzbekistan during 2026.

On 23 August, five Azerbaijani experts visited Uzbekistan to study the country’s experience in digitalization and information technologies. The visit focused on exchanging experience in the digitalization of public audit, the use of modern information technologies, and the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities into audit processes.

The meeting also included concrete proposals for further expanding cooperation.

Particular attention was given to further exchange of experience in external public audit methodologies, as well as studying Azerbaijan’s experience in such areas as auditing the state budget draft, compliance auditing in the management of state property, auditing the management of educational institutions, auditing the effectiveness of information technologies in the education system, and auditing financial support for the food security system.

The parties also proposed establishing cooperation in joint scientific research, parallel and joint audits, as well as organizing seminars and webinars. This would enable comparative studies of similar processes in the two countries, identification of common challenges, and development of effective solutions.

The meeting highlighted the particular potential for sharing the Chamber of Accounts of Uzbekistan’s experience in digitalization and artificial intelligence with the Azerbaijani side.

The main objective of this cooperation is to develop modern approaches to public auditing that focus not only on detecting violations but also on preventing them through the use of digital technologies, data analytics, and artificial intelligence.

Azerbaijani experts highly praised the reforms being implemented at the Chamber of Accounts of Uzbekistan.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the parties agreed to continue their cooperation consistently in order to further strengthen the friendly and trust-based relations between the two Chambers of Accounts, expand the practical implementation of the tasks set out in the Memorandum, continue the exchange of experts, and organize joint and parallel audits.
